SUCCESS STORY
Tom Pernice, Jr., PGA Golfer, Champions Tour
Tom Pernice, Jr. had a full thickness tear of his rotator cuff tendon, an injury that often requires surgery. The pain continued for months despite conservative therapy. A colleague recommended that he consult with Dr. Chris Rogers at the San Diego Orthobiologics Medical Group. Given that Pernice was preparing to start the tour season, he preferred to avoid surgery and a potentially long recovery. At that time, Dr. Rogers shared his experiences using a patient’s own cells to stimulate tendon healing. After carefully considering his options, Pernice elected to give the therapy a try.
In May 2019, only a few weeks after his treatment, Pernice had already noticed decreased shoulder pain and improved range of motion. After eight more weeks of physical therapy, he was able to compete and won the Legends of Golf at Big Cedar Lodge. “Surgery would have prevented me from playing altogether. This was a very special win,” stated Pernice.
One year after treatment, Pernice notes, “I have no pain in my right shoulder, movement, range of motion… everything’s as good as it could be, or better than it was.”
